Usher, Alicia Keys & Many More To Perform At Obama's Inauguration Events

Usher, Alicia Keys, John Legend, and Stevie Wonder, are just some of the big names performing over two days at President Obama's inauguration festivities.

President Obama is an official
who likes to have big name musical performances at his events, as evidenced by
having Jay-Z, Alicia Keys, and some huge names in classical rock perform for
his last minute push in Ohio during the election. It was previously reported that Beyonce would
be performing the National Anthem at the President’s inauguration, but he is
amping it up even more for the festivities afterwards and has a star-studded
roster performing at his inauguration ball.

A concert will be held over
Martin Luther King weekend and will include Usher, Alicia Keys, John Legend,
Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Katy Perry, March Anthony and country star Brad
Paisley.

The event is expected to draw
more than 35,000 people and include a ball on January 21st and a
children’s concert on January 19th.
On top of the names already mentioned, Far East Movement, Mindless
Behavior, and Nick Cannon are expected to perform. Event officials have not yet confirmed at
which venue each artist will be performing, but President Obama sure is
starting off his second term in style.
